About Compose and Compose :: Melbourne
Compose is a conference for functional programmers, focused on technologies
such as Haskell, Scala, Clojure, OCaml, F#, SML and others.
Functional programming has been taken up widely, by industry and hobbyists
alike. For many of us it has renewed our belief that code should be beautiful,
and that programming can be as enjoyable as it is practical. Compose is about
bringing together functional programmers of all levels of skill and experience
— from technical leads to novices, and from long-time hackers to students just
getting started.
Our experiences have shown that the theoretical can be put into practice with
great success, and that topics once considered “advanced” can be made
understandable and spread widely. For example, type systems, often considered
complex, can simplify our lives by teaching compilers to do some of our
reasoning for us.
Compose Conference began in New York in 2015.
Warm Regards,
- Lyndon
